I Promise To Cleanup After The Refactor

Ah yes, the infamous "I Promise To Cleanup After The Refactor" bridge. Just like how every developer swears they'll come back and clean up their temporary hacks after shipping the feature. Five years later, that "quick fix" is now a load-bearing monstrosity that nobody dares to touch. The bridge is still standing though, so technically it works in production! And just like legacy code, it's covered in the vines of technical debt that keep growing while management insists on building new features on top. Remember folks, temporary solutions are the most permanent architectural decisions you'll ever make.

The 1,000,000,000th Repository In GitHub Has Been Created!

When GitHub hit its billionth repository milestone, they decided to celebrate by... *checks notes*... congratulating someone who created a repo literally named "shit". Talk about anticlimactic! It's like planning a fancy dinner party and the guest of honor shows up in pajamas. This is the programming equivalent of the billionth customer at a supermarket getting confetti and balloons while buying nothing but toilet paper. The contrast between the formal congratulatory message and the crude repo name is just *chef's kiss* perfect comedy. And GitHub's hopeful message about "building something great" just adds that extra layer of unintentional irony. Billions of repositories later and we've peaked at... this. Beautiful.
